A Master Who Defies Worship…
Mirra Alfassa, the famous master known also under the name, ‘The Mother’, said in 1956 to her most prominent disciple, Satprem, “No, no one wanted to become. To worship was so much easier.” People were smiling and didn’t understand the importance of this warning. The Mother’s Agenda, a comprehensive work that encloses more than 6,000 pages in 13 volumes, is a must-read series for any spiritual seeker.
When Gurdjieff, the most known western mystic of the last century, pushed away his main student, P.D. Ouspensky, people literally thought that the master lost his mind. Ouspensky was also puzzled and confused about this unusual decision taken by Gurdjieff. But Gurdjieff saw that Ouspensky was on the wrong path; instead to transform himself and practice what he was teaching, Ouspensky started to worship and venerate Gurdjieff.
Jesus, himself, asked the Apostles not to worship him but to understand and practice what he was teaching. Of course, nobody was listening to him; worshiping was much easier.
